took l10 with only 18k archer loss using 99950 archers plus rainbow and 8 follow ups of 10k archers, repeated 3 times every 6 mins. now abandoning and doing again for medals (just sending main attacks every 6 mins without the waves)
You cannot take L10 with only 18k archer loss, that can be done only by someone who has a very high attack hero to start, and is able to send 30k archer waves with relatively high attack heros. For most of those who are looking to take 10 that is not the situation.
First attack on 10 is one that will cost you most archers. With a hero bellow 150 attack you face wipe out. So get your hero over 150 before you have a go at 10.
There are 3 things respawning in an NPC city. First, wall defenses respawn instantly (10%) and then another 10% every min. You want to hit NPC in intervals of less than a min.
Lvl 10 respawns 40k wars at some very odd timer if not randomly. Perhaps I just can't figure it out but it sure is not 6 min.
Then there is a loyalty regen, I believe loyalty regens by 2 or 4 every 2 min. You must beat this clock if you are to the the town.
Awesome post, worked about as advertised. My heroes had low attacks (only 5 in the 120-140 range, 4 of them low-mid 90s). Took my first level 10 in 45 minutes using this exactly. Only had a rally 10 with no war ensign so my first wave was 99994 archer + rainbow, then followed everything else. Started with 135k archers and 140k warriors, ended with 110k archers and 100k warriors. Losses a little more than the OPs, but for taking a level 10 without waiting days and weeks for 20-30k ballista was well worth the small troop loss.
I took mine with lvl 8 archery, distance of 1.4 miles from the target, a lvl 8 rally pt and 100 Atk hero and 7 others around 70 to 85, it cost me dearly as I started the attack first up with 180k archers used war ensign, corselet, Penicillin and warhorn, 1st wave contained 100k archers and 80k in the next wave.
Then broke my attacks into waves of 10k with each 4th wave being larger to offset the regen, at that distance the target was 2 min 2 secs away, i got the NPC, but lost 141k archers from my total of 180 to start, I also used 20k warriors and lost 5k of those.
I achieved the goal but it set me back 4 days trying to recover the lost troops, from it i got 2 mich scripts and a 3 justice medals...although not sure if it was 3 or just 2
I applaud you for having this many archers.Quote:

Nice but too many archers casualty...Quote:

Attack2:1k pikes,1k swords,96k archers and 2k transporters to take the resources too
this is the spearhead report:

If U use rainbow or you send warriors instead of pikes or swordsmen you will lose at least 50k archers...look at these reports:

the attack of the hero was around 170 but I think the difference wont be very big if u scout the NPC till you will find a low Lv hero there...the one i faced was Lv 47
The rest of the process should work like nevet said
Cheers...i hope it will work for you too:D
What is the point of Necroing such an old thread Feom, OP is 2 months old.
question in regards to this as i just had a thought and unsure if it would work...what if you built your own L10 NPC and attacked it immediately (assuming you built it on the flat next door so its within 1 mile). if you did this would that L10 instantly be full defenses as soon as you abandon the city or does it follow the normal trend of 10% every 6 min? because if it follows the 10% trend you could easily capture a L10 by making your own next door and have little to no loss in troops...just curious if that would work
